Elon Musk is on track to become the world’s first trillionaire. Imagine if his wealth was capped at $999M, and we taxed the rest (~$239B).
We could:
End homelessness: $20B
End hunger: $40B annually to 2030
Build homes: 710K new homes at $308K each
A trillion for one or a future for all?
remember the name: Rio Ngumoha
NEW: A wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover in right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI.
He didn’t tell family or friends.
The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.
This is his story, by @josh-kaplan.bsky.social:

I wonder if there’s some kind of link here?
This is sort of fascinating because if you were to turn on pretty much any talk radio station or pick up any tabloid, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was the inverse.
Young men are entering into an economy that is unequal, a society that is atomised and workplaces that are insecure. Right-wing influencers posing as self-help gurus are appealing directly to them. But an alternative is possible. Me for @theguardian.com

the Niger Delta already knows the answer to this question unfortunately - would be nice to have a political movement capable of forcing a different one
I did my first "Sounds interesting, let's touch base after the holidays" today, and it felt great. Did not specify that I meant Easter. They'll figure it out.

That may have been edited - it’s from the BBC
I don’t think it’s legit, since it doesn’t contain the lines being quoted by all the media

The tech industry has had quite a year with its billionaires revealing who they really are for all to see. Who will be the WORST PERSON IN TECH?

America, I have discovered your biggest troll. [Ominous pause.] Its name is...the New York Times. "Attempts to punish the fossil fuel industry by limiting leases or permits for export facilities or blocking projects often backfire..."

how bout this guy?
Having welcomed the fall of the "barbaric regime" in Syria, Keir Starmer is now visiting Saudi Arabia and the UAE to deepen UK ties with regimes whose violent, repressive nature resembles that of the Al-Assad dictatorship. 🧵

The Western media's duplicity has broken all records. When jihadists entered Kabul, ousting the US regime, it was the end of the world. Now that jihadists have entered Damascus to overthrow a secular enemy of the West, it is a triumph of the human spirit. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

a lot can change in 7 years… #Syria
Israel appears to be destroying strategic weapon caches around Syria, Iranian assets+aerial defense systems. Given Israeli capabilities this should be read to my best understanding as ensuring that any incoming regime will have limited capacity to threaten Israel proper+grant freedom of action.

For Twitter's many many faults it has exposed a lot of people (me included) to important information we wouldn't've seen elsewhere. Hoping the collapse of that platform doesn't drive a wedge between Western leftists and voices on the ground in places our media fails to inform us about.
